Improving the SusqueEanna.

In his annual report to the war depart
ment Gen. W. f. Smith who has charge of
the rivers of this state, says: "oI the i'm
proveuent OF the Su: quchanna river, above
aud below Havre de Grace, Maryland,
the act of August >, 1856, appropriated
six thousand dollars and directed it to be
expended above the Philadelphia, Will
nington and baltimore Railroad bridge. \
project was submitted and approved re-
commenting that the amount be applied to
increasing the width of the channel above
the Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad
bridge by dredging off the shore the
west side of the river opposite Watson, Is
land. The work was advertised and bids
opened November lSS6. y contract was
made with the Baltimore Dredging Com
pany at twenty two cents per Cubic yard,
place measurement. Operations began
November 20 and continued until DeCem
Der 20, hen, on account of ice, work was
suspended aud remained SO until March 2S,
when it was resumed and continued until
the end of April 1887. 1t was then sns-
pended for lack of funds. The channel be-
tween Watson's Island and the lower end
of the shoal on the west side of the river
was increased 800 feet in width and to a
depth of feet at mean low water, making
IA total of loo feet cut OFF the upper part of
this shoal and 500 feet from the lower. The
effect OF the work has been perceptibIe in
leSsening the tendency OF the ice to gorge at
this roint. Originally there was only four
tcet low waite: navigation ON his river.
